Thinking about removing voting

submitted by system to whatever 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 21:54:56 ago (+9/-13)     (whatever)

Not enough people engage with the voting system and it causes more problems than anything, so I am thinking about removing it. Posts could be ranked by comments or clicks or something else. What's your opinion on this?

sort by: hot new top old low

Sounds like manipulation to curate information.

Not like VOAT at all. In fact very gay and worthy of just leaving.

[ - ] OftenWrong 0 points 6 monthsOct 10, 2023 23:02:31 ago (+0/-0)

If this happens I am leaving this site. It will no longer be voat and something else that used the old name to trick people to use the new product

[ - ] allAheadFull 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2023 17:44:12 ago (+1/-0)

Maybe make a column for number of views so people can sort by it or set it as their default front but I wouldn't remove voting.

[ - ] The_Reunto 9 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 02:29:44 ago (+9/-0)

The irony of changing the site name to upgoat and then removing the voting feature.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 8 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:29:19 ago (+8/-0)

Leave it alone. Whose complaining? You?

AOU is not happy about the down vote feature.

[ - ] Sleazy 7 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 00:10:14 ago (+7/-0)

i doesn't sound right for voat

[ - ] VitaminSieg 6 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 22:48:05 ago (+6/-0)

Not enough people engage? Isn't there a limit on how much I can downvoat? Remove the limits and I'll engage all over the fucking place.

[ - ] Spaceman84 4 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:22:26 ago (+5/-1)

You have to upvoat submissions and comments too. Upvoat shit you don’t hate to generate downvoats for the kikes submissions and comments.

[ - ] Bottled_Tears 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 04:21:00 ago (+0/-0)

That's when manipulation becomes a problem. Especially from accounts we've seen with multiples on here.

I don't always vote, but when I do, it's because you earned it.

I don't like the idea.

You don’t even make submissions, faggot

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:22:14 ago (+2/-1)

But someone might downvote them.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:23:08 ago (+3/-2)

I’m downvoating you right now, dumb nigger.

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 3 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:24:41 ago (+4/-1)

And look how effective it is.

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:36:16 ago (+4/-2)

Feels good though. I just did it a bunch more to your comments, nigger. You won’t care because it’s ineffective, right?

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:41:21 ago (+3/-1)

So you were trying to disprove my point that the site is filled with blanket voting loons, by being one.

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:44:55 ago (+3/-1)

I made no attempt to disprove it, retard. It’s a feature not a bug. And I’ll keep doing it.

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:46:25 ago (+2/-0)

Ok.

I am upvoting. Because there is no engagement or something.

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 5 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 21:57:23 ago (+5/-0)

I'd consider ways that any fix could be exploited (if any are possible) by SBBH fucks, and the like first.

One account could click, or comment multiple times and manipulate the system.

[ - ] HeyJames -2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:24:21 ago (+1/-3)

You're sbbh so you're willing to hamstring yourself? I know rotteuxx vote manipulates. He wasn't shy about it on old voat. Now that he's you're buddy and you've joined his sbbh, maybe you guys swap manipulation tips?

It's obvious what you guys are doing by the way.

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:02:52 ago (+1/-1)

@HeyGeorge (which is you), and @Joe_McCarthy both were bot-tagged and banned by @Puttitout for voat manipulation using multiple accounts, right?

[ - ] HeyJames -2 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:06:53 ago (+0/-2)

If I'm sbbh and you're not, then why have you teamed up with rottenjew? I wonder who's really behind this new KHK account. My guess is Kevdude. Seems like his MO

[ - ] shitface9000 2 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 07:37:59 ago (+2/-0)

Kevdude is dial

Also dial gay

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:07:42 ago (+1/-1)

Who says that I have teamed up with "RottenJew".

Only you and your bullshit lies have claimed so.

[ - ] HeyJames 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:10:14 ago (+2/-2)

You back each other on threads and high five each other publicly. The real kosherhivekicker hated that sbbh faggot. This is definitely someone else

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:11:34 ago (+1/-1)

Which is yet another lie.

btw Thanks for spamming me with only your posts as "proof"... pathetic.

[ - ] HeyJames 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:12:32 ago (+2/-2)

This pretty much confirms it. Gaslightibg is a common sbbh tactic. Straight out of the Saul alinksys rules for radicals.

[ - ] observation1 4 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 02:26:53 ago (+4/-0)

90% of my downvotes went to blumen and joe, and blumen and joe alts.

Youre welcome

[ - ] shitface9000 3 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 07:41:29 ago (+3/-0)

Dumbest idea I’ve seen on this site.

[ - ] chrimony 4 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:18:04 ago (+4/-0)

What are these big problems? Does the voting system not work for registering opinion and for populating the front page? What do you think should be done with (((blume))) alt posts that just troll the board for attention?

[ - ] Thyhorrorcosmic103 3 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 05:08:55 ago (+3/-0)

No, and make voats public.

[ - ] killallkikes 1 point 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 17:43:16 ago (+1/-0)

one of my two downvoats ever given

I like the idea of showing who does and doesn't like shit. I can see how it would discourage lurkers from voting, but it will definitely add transparency as to who's doing what. I personally think lurkers should get in the game, it'd be nice to hear something from y'all. I can also see how that would get complicated. Maybe if it was just the first ten or so people that voted on a particular submission or comment?

I dunno, but that's my two cents.

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 22:51:13 ago (+1/-0)

Yes! Putting a drop-drown window, or a link on each post that details who upvoats, and who downvoats each post / comment would be amazing.

The faggots who chain downvoat specific people would be outted.

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:17:05 ago (+3/-1)*

People can already have the chain downvotes removed if they really care. I hate this idea because there are a lot of shitlisting nuts here, who will cyberstalk their enemies across multiple sites. Doing this would ensure I just never vote on anything again, lest I be singled out or lumped into one of these lunatic hate piles. Damned if you upvote or downvote because then you're "obviously" someone's alt. I don't see any positive interactions developing from this idea, just shit lists and angry DMs from schizos.

Edit: Perfect example, you can see this Spaceman lunatic downvote stalking me because of this comment.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:19:55 ago (+2/-1)

You’ve never submitted anything you worthless nigger faggot.

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:23:02 ago (+2/-1)

Stop being such a child.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:23:39 ago (+2/-1)

Kill yourself.

[ - ] SmokeyMeadow 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:45:42 ago (+2/-1)

Go take your meds, psycho.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 00:10:18 ago (+2/-1)

I hope you die of AIDS. Soon.

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:18:44 ago (+3/-1)

It’s me, nigger. Not your posts, but I do blanket downvoat plenty of kikes on this site.

[ - ] KosherHiveKicker 1 point 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:04:06 ago (+1/-0)

If you are downvoating Kikes, then wear the tag as a badge of honor.

Letting people know what is going on will never hurt.

[ - ] Gowithit -3 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:04:00 ago (+0/-3)

and then next to that a box that says why the user up or downvoted. Because that'll take up all day.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:24:37 ago (+2/-1)

Go back to poal

[ - ] Thyhorrorcosmic103 0 points 7 monthsSep 30, 2023 08:38:56 ago (+0/-0)

I agree with you.
Just spitballing here but maybe require any downvoaters to leave a comment. I'm sure this could be exploited somehow.

I upgoat way more than I downgoat, but I NEED to be able to downgoat Queeriposts. It sustains me.

PS: add a feature that identifies WHO up or downvoted.

If voting mattered you wouldn't let us do it.

Voting is gay though not gonna lie, so many people just say boring ass shit that isn't witty or funny so upvotes and engagement are rare from me, even on old accounts.

Awards would be better with an ability to search by award type.

Like funny, shock, fag, glownigger, telaviv agent, sandmonkey, ching chong, roasty, chad, crackhead, etc.

[ - ] correctness 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:29:21 ago (+1/-0)

What about comments?
Posts are just bonus, but users stay longer on site because of comments.

How do you rank comments?

[ - ] Crackinjokes 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 08:03:53 ago (+0/-0)

Ranking by clicks sounds interesting

[ - ] GottaGasEmAll 0 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 02:12:03 ago (+0/-0)

Never liked the reddit system but don't know what would be better

[ - ] germ22 0 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 22:36:07 ago (+1/-1)

Interesting idea. Can we try it for a few days?

[ - ] HeyJames -1 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:29:06 ago (+2/-3)

Content that gets highly upvoted are usually just shitty reposted pictures. Usually content that actually gets engagement are discussion threads. I've pissed off a few SBBH guys like @kosherhivekicker @rotteuxx @love240 @spaceman84 @meatballthedog @postwallhelena and they've been downvote stalking me lately. Which is fine I don't care but the vote becomes meaningless when it's bases on permanently sore fee fees doesn't it? There's really nothing we can do about the above SBBH users. They'll just communicate off-site and make more alts.

[ - ] Spaceman84 1 point 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:33:41 ago (+3/-2)

I downvoat you because you’re a faggot trying to cultivate some kind of gay following. I have nothing to do with anyone else on this site. Those SBBH faggots don’t like me. I downvoat them religiously too.

[ - ] HeyJames -2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:37:02 ago (+1/-3)

I have no "following". The people on my mods list got there because they made me laugh. Half the time they talk shit to me in threads. Hate to burst your bubble, but I don't have a personal army. You just have a stick up your ass.

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:42:39 ago (+4/-2)

Nigger 1/3 of your recent submissions are @ posts because you’re a huge faggot. What’s the difference between you posting garbage to your personal sub versus Conspirologist? You’re a forum sliding nigger kike.

[ - ] HeyJames 0 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:54:44 ago (+3/-3)

You can use less words to say "I'm not going to apologize to be unbanned"

[ - ] Spaceman84 2 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 00:08:07 ago (+4/-2)

I would never post to your gay club anyway. Have fun with your butt buddies.

[ - ] HeyJames -1 points 7 monthsSep 29, 2023 01:05:27 ago (+1/-2)

Just say sorry

[ - ] FacelessOne 0 points 6 monthsOct 10, 2023 18:28:59 ago (+0/-0)

I have issued no orders on vote brigading. As this is not allowed per site rules.

As king of SBBH I demand you submit a shitpost tk makeup for this slanderous attack on the community of shitposters at large.

[ - ] HeyJames 1 point 6 monthsOct 10, 2023 19:58:08 ago (+1/-0)

I should have clarified, not current sbbh users just rejects from old voat

[ - ] Spaceman84 -1 points 7 monthsSep 28, 2023 23:16:56 ago (+1/-2)

Sound great. It hasn’t been used for anything worthwhile. Mostly just stupid bullshit.

While you’re making changes I suggest removing the @ function. A significant portion of the posts on any given day are just kikes posting dumb shit referencing their fellow faggots.
